We have a couple of recommendations / options that you can consider. All options are suggestions and each organization need to take precautions to best fit the needs of the employees and people they are assessing.

1. Using a Plexiglas barrier: One of our customers has installed a plexiglass barrier that separates the evaluator from the person being evaluated. They can provide the assessment without having to be physically near. The only downfall of this is that the person being evaluated must press the screen at the evaluator’s instructions. Once the client leaves, they follow a strict cleaning of the machine.
   
2. Providing protective equipment: The second option is providing protective face masks to clients and staff to mitigate and minimize the risk while following a strict cleaning regime. The person being assessed can be wearing a latex or nitrile finger covering, also known as a finger cot. The assessor can be wearing a full set of nitrile or latex gloves. Both will work with the touch screen of the DriveABLE computer provided they are well fitted. It is critical that both the finger cot for the person being assessed and the gloves for the assessors are well fitted; a loose fit for a cot or glove may result in a missed screen pressed, or a mistimed or inaccurate finger press if a loose glove or cot tip brushes the screen early or brushes the wrong part of the screen.
   
3. We have a social distancing method of delivery.  The idea would be that the assessor would have a laptop that they would place next to the DriveABLE computer with PowerPoint slides that show the instructions without having to be close to the client. The evaluator would use a remote keyboard or mouse to progress through the slides. They would follow a modified script that would provide clear instructions from a distance of how and when to touch the DriveABLE machine. This would require additional training.
